38 of a safety cook or valve 39 located in the fuel supply pipe or gas line 40. Pivoted at- 41 on the aforesaid lever extension 32 is an arm or link 42 having a notched out or cut awaypart 43 and a. laterally project-ing finger or handle 44 whereby said arm or link 42 can be lifted and moved forwardly 'so that thenotched out portion. 43 is engaged by and rests on the adjacent end 45 of the bracket 31, in which position the cock or valve 39 is closed and'the fuel or gas supply 'cut off. A casing or box 46 indicated. by the dotted lines in Figure 3 is preferably arranged to close in the parts shown and provid'ed with an appropriate secret lock and key so that when the vehicle or machine on -which my invention is installed is left unattended the. arm or link 42 can be raised to locking positionpthe b01146 closed and locked, and thus. constitute safeguard againstftheft or unauthorized removal of said vehicle or machine. a v V a.

From the foregoing description it willbe readily seen that by inventionfthere is provided a very effective means associated with the fenderfor stopping a moving'self propelled vehicle by automatically shutting off the fuel supply and simultaneously applying the service brake or brakes andin this connection I wish to point out that preferably substitute a flexible connection 47 fromthe emergency brake lever 48 to said emergency brake so that when the fen- .d'er strikes an object the; service brakes are automatically applied. Stops 5Q limit the forward movement of the fenderlt and it will be obvious that when said fender has beenrearwardly moved by an impact, it is either drawn forward again manually or so moved by the springsif the arm or link 42 has been lifted.

Whilst I have illustrated and described one practical embodiment of the invention it is to be clearly understood thatchanges and modifications therein may be readily effected to meet different service: conditions without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, and that I desire to avail'myself of such variations and cmodificati ons as fairly come within the scope of the appended claims.

Havingdescribed my invention, what I attended. I 2; The combination with a motor driven ing said valve in closed claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is v 1. The combination with a motor driven vehicle having brake mechanism and a fuel supply connection, 'ofJa-rearwardly movable spring influenced fender, a rotatable shaft journaled transversely of the vehicle underframe, toothed wheels on the shaft and having operative connection with the fender and adapted to'be moved in a clockwise direction thereby, other toothedwheels on said shaft having operative connection with forwardly movable rack bars connected to the service brakes,'a "ratchet wheel on said shaft, a spring influenced'pivotedilever movable by said ratchet wheel for closingthe fuel supply connection, and means for locking said fuelsupply connection in. closed position when the vehicle is left 'un vehicle having. brake mechanism and 'a fuel su 1 connection of a rearwardl movable. V

spring influenced fender, a rotatable shaft ournaled transversely of the vehicle underframe, toothed wheels on the shaft andhav-- ing operative connection With the fender and adapted tobe moved in "a clockwise direction thereby, other t-oothed 'wh-eels' on said shaft having operative connection with forwardly movable rack bars connected'to the service brake, a ratchet wheel ont'saidi shaft, a spring influenced pivoted lever movable by said ratchet'w-heel, a toothed rack integral with said lever, a valve in the fuel 7 supply connection, 'a toothed sector on thevalve stem operable by the aforesaid toothed rack, and'means for lock vehicle is left unattended. a

3. The combination with a motor driven vehicle having brake'mechanisin, and a fuel V supply connection, of a rearwardly'movable spring influenced fender, a rotatable shaft position when the V ournaled transversely of the vehicleunder- 2 frame, toothed wheels on the shaft and hav ing operative connection withfthe fender and adapted to be moved in a clockwise direction thereby, other toothed wheels on said shaft having operative connectionwith forwardly. movable rack bars'connected' to the service brake, a ratchet wheel on said shaft, a spring influenced pivoted lever movable by said ratchet wheel, a toothed rack integral with said lever, a valve in 'thefuel supply connection, a toothed sector onthe valve .stem and operable by the 'rack yand a notched out link on said lever for locking the valve in closed position when the vehicle is left unattended. i V i i In testimony wherof I afiix my signature. i
